Vito's Cave comes to mind.

While three people sit on sofas and look at each other, a cat with a disillusioned expression sits on the floor and holds the flame of a lighter up to the bottom of the drapes. One of the people says: The great thing about cats is they entertain themselves.

How wonderful! You must be proud to have been part of such a great series.

And I'm glad they didn't go with the original title. 😀

Slings & Arrows was so good. Still thinking about Paul Gross' Hamlet in 2000 @stratfest.bsky.social. Sublime. 🎭

True. 😀

This is exactly what I was envisioning. 😄

I don't want to get close enough to see this subtle difference.

"European hornets can look scarily similar to the murder hornet. They have a similar striped pattern on their abdomens, but the key difference is that their abdomens are yellow, whereas the murder hornets are more yellow-orange."

This is also a good site, which shows readings for fine particulate matter.

You're welcome. I've never seen that one. Wish I could. I thought Forgiveness sounded interesting, too. The memoir it's based on, by Mark Sakamoto, was really good.

If I had my little way,
I'd eat peaches every day

BBQ corn is the best! 😋

Thanks for the link!

He was also amazing in 2015's Lear.

I'd love to see it! But it would be hard to top Colm Feore's performance in the 2009 production.

It's a fantastic Old South restaurant! 🍽️

I make suggestions for purchase all the time @lpl.ca, but since the form does not require contact info, I've never received a notice that one has been approved. This is a great idea!

Canada Department of Agriculture keeping it real.

What a wonderful review of the Festival's offerings this season! 🎭

Also includes this handy tip:
At Revel, a local coffee house, U.S. visitors who identify themselves receive a free coffee beverage, courtesy of a local benefactor who gets billed daily, and who wants Americans to feel welcome. 🍁

I'm not familiar with Stuckey’s, but Buc-ee's is awful. And yet, for reasons I can't fathom, super-popular. 🤷

Photo of the cover of the novel, Broken Ground, by Jack Hodgins. In the centre is a black and white photo from the Courtenay and District Museum, Vancouver Island. It shows a person holding the reins of two horses that are hitched to a plough. At the top of the cover is a silhouette of running soldiers based on a photo of Canadian troops in France, 1906 by William Ivor Castle.

Returning WWI soldiers, given free land to farm, must deal with a huge forest fire that sweeps through their community. The Toronto Star said Hodgins' evocation of the fire is one of the few scenes in Canadian literature that deserve to be called 'epic'.

That's gorgeous! 🌱
Speaking of crazy tomato plant names, saw a Mortgage Lifter seedling for sale at a hobby nursery in May. Also this one:

Also wine from Chile. 🙂
